I'm baaaack

So, after a 4 and a half year break I'm headed back to Germany. I'm working with Higgi to get another FC and you better believe I'm going to top what I accomplished with my last FC. This time I'll be located at Spangdahlem AB. I'm looking forward to meeting up with and wrenching with the other rotary owners in the area. I'll put up a reply to this with some pics of the old FC...in case y'all forgot

I'm over in the Ramstein area now and have about a year left. I've only seen 2 FC's the whole time I've been here and it would be great to see another.

Hells yes, I'm stoked about Higgi bringing my new FC over. We'll call it the Higgi special, a bone stock S4 FC with Torsen LSD and RB front sway. Hoping to roll enough pennies (suppose it'd be nickels actually, since they don't ship pennies over here) to get some parts from him. If anyone's looking for parts you should definitely hit Higgi up, maybe he can bring some stuff with him when he brings my car.

Thanks. If you need a hand with your rebuild or anything let me know, I've been wrenching for quite a while, and sometimes it's nice just to have an extra set of hands or eyes around. I basically have my own shop too, once my tools arrive to my house.

There is a black FD with gold BBS rims that works down the street from me...that's not yours is it, Striker?

I'll get pics up once we get a decent day (that may be a while). Maybe by the lake near my house.

Hey, the other black FD with gold BBS wheels was me. Striker you own the black FD with the MS-02 wheels right? I chased you down that one day, haha. Anyways, I'm gone already and am at Aviano now. Hope all is well at Spang.

Oh that sucks, mines been in the body shop for awhile now. Should be getting it back in a few weeks. That would be pretty nice. Anything special you're getting rid of or just all stock engine parts? I might need a few things.

Hey striker,

What would you be looking to get for the whole short block? I may be interested in buying it so I can rebuild it and swap it into my FC.
